Vintage Finds

There are a number of antique shops within a very short drive of where I live.  For better, or worse, my pocket book and I are gradually getting to know them.  One specializes in clocks, another in Asian pieces, some are every-which-way.  My growing favorite is about fifteen minutes North.  A collection of fun items- books, furniture, signs, pictures, decor, memorabilia, and a nice back room of clothing and accessories.  Most of the clothing is post-WWII, but they said they do get many earlier items in (they just sell right away!).  After drooling on a few 1920s/30s gowns that were too big for me I found a great little image tucked in corner.  Labelled as "Glamour Shots", it has numerous images of women with pretty, but everyday, hairstyles.  I'd date it mid-1910s, but it'd work quite well for 1912.  If you open the picture in it's own page it should be high-resolution.  Have fun!

How cute! What a great collection of images. At first I almost thought it was a school picture. Is it framed? Will you hang it up?

It was framed, but the frame seems rather cheap and very damaged. I'll probably reframe it upstairs on my wall of vintage photos.

Too crazy. One of the girls looks EXACTLY like my sister. Even my mom thought so.
